Knowledge Base Retrieval for Kindergarten Operations and Quality Self-Assessment: Handle Questions and Collect Missing Information

Kindergarten Quality: review retrieval for question intake. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

This page addresses the scenario of kindergarten operation behavior and quality self-assessment. Materials come from three types of documents: self-assessment reports, issue lists, and rectification plans, updated by semester or assessment cycle. Self-assessment reports contain section fields such as operating conditions, safety and hygiene, care and education, and faculty and staff. Issue lists record issue descriptions, responsible persons, and rectification deadlines item by item. Rectification plans contain measures, completion dates, and signature fields. When the three types of materials enter the knowledge base retrieval and recall function, the self-assessment report serves as the primary basis providing a complete narrative, the issue list serves as an itemized index providing issue location, and the rectification plan serves as a process record providing time and signature clues. During retrieval, attention must be paid to whether the name, quantity, and date of the same record are consistent across the three materials, whether versions are synchronized, and whether signatures or receipts are complete. These field characteristics directly affect the usability of candidate snippets.

Configuration and implementation checks

This step is executed by the knowledge base retrieval service (retrieval node and search test), outputting candidate snippets and similarity scores (after pattern, merge, re-rank, filter, and limit truncation). Acceptance records and supplemented question items are completed by subsequent nodes or manually.

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: The name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the self-assessment report and the issue list. Cause: The two materials are updated separately, without cross-checking and version synchronization.
  • Phenomenon: The rectification plan lacks a signature or receipt, yet retrieval still returns that snippet. Cause: The signature field was not validated during material scanning or entry, and candidate snippets were not filtered.
  • Phenomenon: The same question phrased differently cannot be recalled; there are many candidates but the top-ranked ones are irrelevant. Cause: The retrieval mode does not match the material form, re-rank is not enabled, or similarity filtering is too loose.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance of this feature: Test once each with synonym-rewritten questions, compare candidate snippets and similarity scores, then toggle usingReRank to see changes in the ranking of the top few items, and check the tokens and array count of the cited text under searchMode and limit, recording them separately.

Business test: Ask a question missing key information, see whether it follows up before answering, whether the answer is based on materials, and whether missing items are identified and followed up.

  • In the knowledge base search test, switch searchMode to semantic, full-text, or hybrid, compare whether candidate snippets include both semantic and full-text results, and record the number of candidates and scores.
  • Check the name, quantity, date, and signature receipts of the same record across the self-assessment report, issue list, and rectification plan, confirm version synchronization, then transfer to the handler.
